The forward fold stretch: the perfect exercise if you work at a
By A Mystery Man Writer
Description
Sometimes I wish there was just one exercise or stretch I could do daily that would act as a catch-all. It would relieve tension, stretch muscles and leave my body feeling relaxed and rejuvenated. Unfortunately, there isn't such a thing, but I have found something that’s close: the forward fold stretch. It's similar to the stretch we all did in gym class (bend forward and touch your toes), but it’s more refined and more intentional. Stretching the right muscles This stretch is amazing if you’re working at a desk all day.
